World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 260: Too fast is also wrong



Chapter 260: Too fast is also wrong

A peculiar sensation spread through Dan Cong's heart.

Relief?

Or perhaps, emotion?

He couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Pan-Universal Entertainment was like a sharp blade hanging over the head of every civilization, with everyone verbally opposing it, yet when it came down to action, they became ants scrambling for their own interests.

Being able to bring resources back to one's own civilization was already heroic.

The only one who seemed to truly put resistance into action against Pan-Universal Entertainment was Wang Chong...

Was Wang Chong foolish?

Certainly not.

If he were a fool, then what were those Alien Star warriors he defeated?

If not foolish, then perhaps it was pure nobility!

But no matter what, Dan Cong couldn't associate nobility with Wang Chong.

However, if he were in Wang Chong's shoes, he admitted he couldn't go that far...

Dan Cong looked at Du Ge with a complex expression, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Can you write the character for 'search' or 'explore' to find the remaining people?" Du Ge asked.

"I'll give it a try!" Dan Cong's defiant pride subsided significantly. Although he didn't agree with Wang Chong's philosophy, it didn't stop him from fueling the fire for Wang Chong's ideals.

"Good, give it a shot, and try to produce some 'truth' characters too, maybe we can uncover their real identities." Du Ge chuckled, stood up, and left. "I'll think of other methods..."

"Are you still going to do the world's main storyline task? I think we can prepare on two fronts." Dan Cong called out to Du Ge, saying, "I'll write the character for 'immortal'; maybe it can restart the path to ascension."

"No need." Du Ge glanced at him and said seriously, "Don't even touch that character. If you dare to write 'immortal', I won't hesitate to replace your planet's Agent. I don't want to see any uncontrollable elements emerge."

"..." Dan Cong gave a forced smile, "It was just a suggestion, I won't write it then."

Soon enough.

Dan Cong knew what Du Ge's method was!

It had to be said.

He had taken decisiveness to the extreme.

Wang Chong released two new announcements.

The first one: a nationwide blood collection, to be recorded for future illnesses, where one could receive timely aid from the Medicine Immortal Sect;

This was less of a health check-up.

And more of a final roundup of Alien Star warriors.

Alien Star warriors possessed extraordinary recovery abilities, and during blood collection, the speed of wound healing could easily distinguish them from the public, unless they had never used Keywords.

As long as they had enhanced their attributes, no matter how well they hid, this health check would leave them nowhere to hide.

The second announcement:

Wang Chong made his resource distribution plan public.

He called for warriors from various planets to quickly gather in the capital of Yan Country to discuss resource allocation. It didn't matter if they weren't in the top ten; he would help them boost their attributes into the top ten, with the order based on their arrival;

Warriors with Keywords like "scout," "search," "probability," "detective" were given priority;

...

The two announcements were like heavy bombs dropped among the Alien Star warriors.

Whether hiding in the mountains or among the public, they could no longer stay hidden.

After all.

Who could resist not using Keywords?

Just a few uses, and once the health check was conducted, no matter how well they disguised themselves, their true forms would be revealed.

And once Wang Chong found a "scout" Keyword, no matter where they hid, he could find them...

Unable to bear it any longer, another group of people emerged to resist.

However.

This time Du Ge didn't kill anyone, instead, he captured them and isolated them.

Then, with Dan Cong's help, they tested each one for their home planet and Keywords.

After playing a round of Keyword cultivation and shuffling the rankings of the top ten, another announcement was made, claiming that ten planets' slots had been filled, but they were still missing a scouting Keyword. Anyone with such a Keyword could choose any person from the top ten to replace.

As a result.

Du Ge indeed flushed out a candidate with the "scout" Keyword, a fellow from Qi Yuan Star named Fang Yang.

He had awakened the skills "Precise Positioning" and "Nowhere to Hide."

After boosting Fang Yang's attributes into the top ten, Du Ge, along with the top ten who were won over by his nobility, launched an unprecedented massacre.

Ten people, eleven Keywords, hundreds of Mahayana Realm experts.

Those warriors from the Alien Star Battlefield who were hiding everywhere, not only failing to develop but also weakening, were like lambs to the slaughter, named one by one by him.

In less than half a month, he had cleaned them out completely.

During this time.

Lang He and Yan Shengtian offered up the information they had researched on the path to ascension, hoping to exchange it for a chance to live, but Du Ge didn't agree.

Reopening the path to ascension was too far-fetched and uncontrollable.

It was far less time-consuming and effort-saving than clearing out the Alien Star warriors.

In one fell swoop, all Alien Star warriors were killed until only ten remained, and Du Ge forcibly ended the Alien Star Battlefield in less than six months...

...

When Du Ge exited the Alien Star Battlefield, he had amassed a mental power of 120,000.

Sitting up from the assessment pod, Du Ge was still reminiscing about the body of the third senior brother he had honed to perfection. In a blur, he was already in front of Bai Long.

Bai Long's fishing rod was cast into the water, and he looked at Du Ge with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

In the Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge had risen to the top position, accustomed to overpowering others with his aura, making everyone tremble before him.

But in front of Bai Long, Du Ge still felt a little breathless. He carefully looked at Bai Long and managed a strained smile: "Lord Bai Long, what's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with my performance? I got first place, you must have won a lot of money, right? Isn't it time for my reward?"

"You still want a reward?" Bai Long took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm his emotions, "Do you know what the time ratio was this time?"

"How much?" Du Ge was puzzled.

"One to three hundred and sixty." Bai Long's expression grew even uglier, "The Alien Star Battlefield you participated in had a final limit of two hundred years, but you ended it in less than six months."

"Is there a problem?" Du Ge asked.

"Six months passed inside the Alien Star Battlefield, and not even a day has gone by outside, do you see a problem?" Bai Long said, "Most of the regular customers in the betting house hadn't even placed their bets, and those who did bet all bet on you winning, what do you think?"

"..." Du Ge was taken aback, glanced at Bai Long, and defensively said, "Lord Bai Long, I didn't break any rules, and I've always remembered your teachings to be a dark horse. Besides, I did just that, you can't blame me, you know I've always played this way."

Bai Long looked deeply at Du Ge, said nothing, lazily waved him off, and sent Du Ge out of the assessment field.

...

Standing outside the assessment field, Du Ge looked back at the now-closed venue, a smile creeping across his lips. He shook his head, not expecting that aliens couldn't handle it either. The Alien Star Battlefield was nothing special after all!

Saying this.

He took out his communicator and contacted Nan Youlong.

The call connected almost instantly, and Nan Youlong's astonished voice came through: "Du Ge, what do you need? Hasn't the Alien Star Battlefield started yet?"

Du Ge chuckled: "Staff Officer Nan, come pick me up, the Alien Star Battlefield is over."

"..." Silence came from the receiver, and Nan Youlong's voice came again, "Du Ge, that's not a funny joke."

Du Ge said: "It's really over, I got first place."

Another pause, Nan Youlong asked: "Are you serious?"

"More serious than ever." Du Ge laughed, looked back, and said, "Another warrior is coming back with me, he made great contributions in this battle, you can pick us both up when you arrive."

"Du Ge, do you know how much time has passed?" Nan Youlong asked.

"I know." Du Ge looked up at the sky, saying, "With a time flow speed of one to three hundred and sixty, I spent six months in the Alien Star Battlefield, so it should have been over ten hours outside."

"Du Ge, tell me honestly, were you eliminated?" Nan Youlong still couldn't believe it, his voice growing more serious.

"Is there elimination in the Alien Star Battlefield? Either it ends, and you come back alive, or you get killed and die right there." Du Ge said, "Staff Officer Nan, are you dreaming? I think, it won't be long before Pan-Universal Entertainment will send you the news, right?"

Another silence.

Nan Youlong said: "Alright, wait for me, I'll come to pick you up."

While waiting for Nan Youlong.

A young man in his twenties walked out of the assessment field, his face bearing the relief and confusion of someone who had survived a disaster, seemingly unable to believe that the Alien Star Battlefield had ended just like that.

It all felt like a dream; he had done nothing, lived in fear for months, and in the end, was carried through by a big shot. The Alien Star Battlefield ended in a daze, seemingly simpler than the Simulation Field.

Du Ge had already seen the warrior behind him with his peripheral vision, bringing back 120,000 mental power and a soul that had been tempered.

The strength of the soul seemed to be indirectly transforming his body, and this transformation was ongoing, a silent and subtle change.

At this moment.

Du Ge's senses were almost on par with Feng Qi in the first Simulation Field. He felt that if he used Backstab now, he could reach or even surpass Feng Qi's peak.

But Du Ge wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal here that he had brought skills from the Simulation Field. Turning around, he smiled slightly and extended his hand: "Hello, Fang Yang, I'm Du Ge."

"Wang... Wang Chong!" Fang Yang shuddered when he saw Du Ge, asking uncertainly.

"Yes, Wang Chong." Du Ge nodded again.

Gulp!

Fang Yang swallowed hard, hurried over, and gripped Du Ge's hand tightly: "Boss, my name is Luo Mi, thank you for sparing my life. In the next Alien Star Battlefield, please take care of me."

"Let's take care of each other, after all, we've fought side by side." Du Ge smiled, patting his shoulder in a friendly gesture.

But the next second.

Both were stunned.

As Du Ge's hand left his shoulder, Luo Mi's jacket came off completely intact.

"Boss, did you bring the skill out?" Luo Mi looked at his jacket in Du Ge's hand, tongue-tied.

"It seems so."

Du Ge feigned composure, returned the jacket to him, but inside, a storm was brewing.

Three skills!

There was a chance to bring skills out of the Alien Star Battlefield.

This time.

He brought out three skills, he had struck it rich!

Indeed.

The Alien Star Battlefield was his stage!
